The trapezius is a large, triangular-shaped muscle located in the upper back and neck. It extends from the base of the skull down to the middle of the back and spans laterally to the shoulder blades. The muscle can be divided into three parts: the upper, middle, and lower fibers, each serving different functions in shoulder and neck movement. Its overall size can vary among individuals, but it generally covers a significant area of the upper posterior torso.
